Overview

Jonathan Intrater is the Sales Manager at Premier Office Movers and has spent about six years helping clients take the stress out of their moves — whether it is an office, a campus, a hospital, a university, or anything in between. In this conversation he explains how Premier lets clients stay focused on their normal jobs while the move gets handled: a clear roadmap up front, updates at key checkpoints, and a plan built well before move day so nothing is left to chance.

He also makes the case for the two things clients feel most on move day — planning and people. Premier begins with the end in mind and works backward, mapping every task and building in contingencies so there are no surprises. And because the same familiar crews return job after job, they already know the building, the expectations, and the preferences, which turns a stressful project into a smooth, continuous relationship.

What this means for your commercial office move

If you are evaluating commercial office movers in Columbus, Ohio, the questions Jonathan answers here are the ones worth asking every vendor. Will you get a clear plan and checkpoint updates, or will you be managing the movers yourself? Is the crew that shows up on move day a consistent, trained team that knows your space — or a different set of faces each morning? Those differences are what let your team walk into the new space without missing a beat.

Jonathan's approach runs through every part of our office moving services, from after-hours relocations to furniture installation and reconfiguration and secure commercial storage.

Key questions & answers

Tell us who you are — your name, your role, and how long you have been with Premier.

I'm Jonathan Intrater, the Sales Manager here at Premier Office Movers, and I've been here about six years. I specialize in helping clients take the stress out of their moves — whether it is an office, a campus, a hospital, a university, and everything in between. Our focus is taking the stress off the client so they can keep doing their normal jobs and not have to worry about the move.

How do you keep clients in the loop without making them babysit the job?

We give our clients a clear roadmap up front and update them at key checkpoints, so they always know where the project stands. That way they can keep doing their regular job without having to hold our hands through the process — and they know the work will get done on schedule and on time.

How do you hit tight deadlines?

We like to begin with the end in mind, so we focus on the planning well before the move actually starts. We map out every task, build in contingencies, and set up a game plan so that when move day comes there are no surprises. Deadlines get met on time and the client doesn't miss a beat.

Why does a consistent crew matter?

Familiar crews know the client's building, their expectations, and their preferences — and the client knows the guys who show up on the day of the job. We end up almost reading each other's minds; it becomes a really sympathetic relationship between the crew and the client. Instead of re-explaining things every morning and starting from page one, we pick up where we left off the day before. That continuity of service ultimately means a better experience for the customer.

How does Premier take the stress off clients?

We understand moves can be stressful, so we want to handle all the details and take that off the client's plate. We begin with the end in mind and work backward through the planning process, starting well in advance so that by move day everything is worked out, agreed upon, and there are no surprises. That lets us show up and execute, eliminating the unnecessary stress and letting the client get back to their day job. Our goal is for them to walk into the new space without missing a beat — everything feels the way it should, with no lingering effects after the move.

What makes Premier different in Columbus?

For us, our most important asset is our people. Everybody has trucks, equipment, and warehouses — where we're different is our people. We truly believe we have the best crew in town. We invest in them, we train them constantly, we do continuous education, and we build relationships that last. So when you call Premier Office Movers, you get consistent service time and time again — which lets you focus on your job instead of worrying about the movers.
